VSEPR Theory

by Dr. S. Gevorg

The VSEPR (valence shell electron pair repulsion) theory predicts the geometry of atoms or molecules. It is based on the principle that atoms and lone pairs repel each other because of electrostatic forces and thus, they are positioned as far … Read more

sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, and sp3d2 Hybridization Practice Problems

by Dr. S. Gevorg
SF6 sp3d2 hybridization

In the previous post, we talked about the hybridization of atomic orbitals, so this practice set is to master to concepts of determining whether an atom is sp, sp2, sp3, sp3d, or sp3d2 hybridized.

Hybridization of Atomic Orbitals

by Dr. S. Gevorg
BrF3 hybridization

Introduction to the Hybridization Let’s start first by answering this question: Why do we need the hybridization theory? Here is one answer to this. It is confirmed experimentally that the carbon atom in methane (CH4) and other alkanes has a … Read more

The VSEPR Model

by Dr. S. Gevorg

Transcript of the video and more practice problems below We are going to talk about the VSEPR model or VSEPR theory which is used to predict the geometry of molecules. VSEPR stands for valence shell electron-pair repulsion and it is … Read more
